It may have been only 27*F on the morning of this year’s Foot Traffic Holiday Half and 5k, but that didn’t deter the more than 3,000 participants who were making their way to the Adidas campus in North Portland for the 8am race start.

The race announcer did the final countdown to the start of the half: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” And just like that we were off and racing. The very beginning of the race was completely rain free, but not long after, the weather said, ‘just kidding’ and showered us (literally) with rain and wind. If you ran the Foot Traffic Holiday Half & 5k this past weekend, this scenario is all too familiar. Despite the…
